Definition
A small spindle-shaped fossil foraminifer (single-celled marine organism) from the Paleozoic era.
Etymology
From Latin fusus meaning spindle, with the diminutive suffix -ula, creating 'little spindle.' Named for its characteristic spindle or football shape.
Kelly Says
Fusulae (plural) are so common in certain rock layers that geologists use them like a time-stamp to date ancient rocks—these microscopic shells are tiny keys that unlock the age of continents and mountain ranges.
